Description

Time: Mondays, 13.00 - 15.00

Location for Maxwell Institute students: Bayes Centre (room 5.46).

Module Leader: Clark Barwick (University of Edinburgh)

Module Summary:

Algebraic geometry is a large, rich, and deep subject, and there are many approaches to the material. In this course, we introduce the theory of schemes, as developed by Grothendieck in the 1960s.

We will follow as closely as possible the lecture notes of Clausen and Hesselholt: https://web.math.ku.dk/~larsh/teaching/S2022_A/schemes.pdf 

A more complete reference is the text of Vakil: https://math.stanford.edu/~vakil/216blog/FOAGoct2125public.pdf 

There will be a small number (1-2) of exercises each week. These will include exploration of examples and filling in general background.
